Now that workshop is available for ONI, I want to give some ideas to mod creators and devs. Hopefully these ideas benefit other people's gameplay as well. If they already exist in workshop, please link them below.

- Electric Rocket

- Electric Jetpack

- Buildable/Destructible chairs, tables, AETN, vending machines, lights, etc.

- Rotate-able everything in every orientation

- Better Critter Sensor

- No Sensor Limits unless it breaks the game like temperature

These are the most prevalent issues I have found that felt restrictive in my gameplay. If I find more, then I will post another topic with more ideas.

Better Critter Sensor

What does that even mean? Better in what way? It's a horrible word to use in this context because I can mod in a sensor with a higher melting temperature. It will be better, but it's likely not what you was thinking of. You have to be more specific in your wishes than just "better".

What exactly is an electric rocket or electric jetpack?  Does it spew electrons as thrust or use a propeller? 

Battery operated helicopter? Seems like it would be possible, though it's worth adding that lifting power depends on air pressure. The higher the pressure, the higher the lift. A jetpack using power instead of fuel and doesn't exhaust anything could be interesting and balanced if it requires 5 kg/tile air pressure.

Rail gun. A series of electromagnets that propels a projectile. The US Navy already uses these IRL for launching projectiles using only electricity. A rocket where you have to connect 5 gantries to it, and each gantry has to be supplied with ridiculous amounts of electricity. 

The heavy conductive wire is already pretty useless as it, change it to being capable of 100kW, make each gantry require a burst of the full 100kW for a full quarter cycle for a successful launch. That way heat management of a massive battery bank presents just as much of a challenge as the other rocket fuels do.

Isn't this a one way trip?

And how any living creature would survive such acceleration?

Oops. Good point. Maybe electric rocket for the trip out, reducing the load of normal propellants for the return?

They wouldn't. Meep on the other hand...

The ion engine is electric powered. It uses an electric field to propel gas to create thrust for the rocket. It was called the electric engine at one point. It doesn`t generate enough thrust for liftoff but might be useful as a booster. It would be interesting to have an engine that is a giant battery that needs to be loaded before start. It was also suggested recently i think.

I`m not sure if it`s usable as a jetpack but we might as well build a helipack for dupes. It just needs to work only above a certain pressure. That could be battery powered.

A Helipack makes sense as an atmo-only alternative to the Jetpack.  Being atmo-only also avoids the bulk of the frame drops you get from Jetpacks...as well as heat and CO2.

This is what will be left of Meep after such rocket launch.

Looks like you could also have him for a lunch ;)

MMMM...I can taste the uni brow.
